Prison Boots
“Go ahead Sir, here is your condom…enjoy.”
It is funny how the issue of providing prisoners with condoms has died down or become dormant for a while, until human rights activists and other pressure groups realize the potency of the consequences or when the nation is slapped with an increase in sexual offences. I promise not to be long on this but will just point out a few thoughts on the issue.
This superb idea of issuing condoms to inmates will push further the door of buggery and indecent sexual assault in the prison facilities. This would be more than a passport to engage in deviant sexual behaviour. Also, this would take away the rigidity of the prison system as some men only need sexual penetration for their lives to be considered normal, and hence would nullify the purpose of being placed behind bars, which is to deprive him of the privileges he had in society. Even though condoms would not cover much, government should take an active role in enforcing the rigidity of the penal system. If the justice system clamps down on buggery in society, then the same should be done in the prisons. After all, another aim of imprisonment is to rehabilitate, that is, to possibly socialize the inmate, to prepare him again for the outside world where buggery is not only immoral but a criminal offence.
